You open my closet
Pull out the skeletons
Unveil my secrets
And place them before me.
My darkest fears
Somehow become light
My deepest obsessions
Rise to shallow water.
You soften the blows
With gloves made of metal
You light a fire within me
Then leave me to burn.
You promise of nothing
Yet still I feel empty
When my flowery lies
Burn to your ashy truth.
